About Bühne Baden
The Bühne Baden is the music theatre of the spa town of Baden, with operetta, musicals and concerts on three stages: the Stadttheater, the Sommerarena in the Kurpark and the Max-Reinhardt-Foyer. There is also a dedicated programme for children and young people and the Club-Nacht in the foyer.
Three venues with history
- Stadttheater: a listed building in the pedestrian zone on Theaterplatz, built in 1908/09 by the theatre architects Helmer und Fellner; there has been a theatre on this site since 1775
- Sommerarena: built in the Kurpark in 1906, with a glass roof that is open or closed depending on the weather; renovated from 2021 to 2023
- Max-Reinhardt-Foyer: on the first floor of the Stadttheater, the smallest stage since 2010, with a maximum of 95 seats
What's on in the 2026/27 season
At the Stadttheater there are musicals such as Disney's "Arielle, die Meerjungfrau" (The Little Mermaid), "The Addams Family" and "Alle reden nur noch von Jamie" (Everybody's Talking About Jamie), plus the operettas "Das Land des Lächelns" and the world premiere "Ein kleines Café irgendwo". In November the Max-Reinhardt-Foyer shows Kálmán's "Das Veilchen vom Montmartre". There are concerts at Christmas and New Year as well as with the Tonkünstler, for example with Beethoven or Haydn and Strauss.
Buying tickets
Since 15 September 2026 the box office has been at Pfarrgasse 7, one minute from Theaterplatz in the pedestrian zone. Single tickets are also available online as e-tickets or to print out; standing places only at the box office before the performance.
